According to this thread, TurboHD Silver likely has Fox News, Nickelodeon, and VH1 coming too (since they are all in the AT200 package currently).
So I guess no one can answer my original question that started this thread?
AHHHH!!! That really sucks then!!! I thought if it was labeled "DDA" that automatically meant it had the old America Top 200, ugh.
I would like to just switch to "HD only" but as people have noted, some channels are still not available yet.

Nick and VH1 should be in Bronze, though, I think. Aren't they AT100?
I did some more research, and here is what I came up with:
Rainbow Media:
-AMC - American Movie Classics
-Independent Film Channel
-WE: Women's Entertainment
-Fuse
Fox:
-Fox News Channel (Though I expect this will go to AT100/Bronze)
-FX
-The Speed Channel
Misc:
-Black Entertainment TV
-G4 TV
-RFD TV
Not yet in HD, but possible this year:
-BBC America
-MSNBC
-Hallmark Channel
-Turner Classic Movies
-Oxygen
As to your original question, someone before posted a chat transcript where the CSR confirmed Turbo is available after Feb 1st. That is the closest to an official confirmation I've seen.
That may very well be true. I was just looking to see what would be in the TurboHD Silver package because that is the one I plan to switch to.
Thanks for the info! It isn't and easy thing to search for because it can be phrased many different ways.
Actually, it was in one of today's other threads on the subject.

I did see that, but that talks about going from Absolute HD (which I think is HD only) to Bronze/Silver/Gold TurboHD. I wanted to make sure I could downgrade from an SD + HD package to a HD only package (after Feb. 1st -- as rumored).
TurboHD looks like it's now available to existing subs (with less hassle)
I just logged in to my account, and noticed that under "Programming" there is now the option to switch to any of the TurboHD packages.
Now if only they'd add Comedy Central HD...

I just finished making the change online. I went from Classic Bronze 100 + Bronze HD + Platinum HD to Silver HD + Platinum HD. The comparison said that I would save about $10 a month, plus it offered me an additional $10 off for signing a 24 month comitment.
Hmmm... When I log in and click on "Programming" I get...
"Changes to annual subscription services are not available through online support. To make changes to these services, please call 1-888-884-2741."
Could it be because I sub to HD Absolute?

Did you sign up for the annual Cinemax for a penny offer? I get the same message and that's the only programming I have subbed on an annual basis.
Yes I also sub to the Cinemax penny offer. So maybe that's the glitch.
Although it seems a bit odd that Dish wouldn't let anyone change their programing online just because they get Cinemax for a penny/yr.

I have the same problem not being able to make programming changes via Dish's website. I thought my problem was that I have a commercial account because I reside in an MDU(apt. building). Online reps and regular CSR's can't ever make changes to my acct., because I always have to talk to a commercial account CSR. But, I also have the penny Cinemax deal, so maybe that's what it is. It's frustrating either way.
Do you live in a single family residence? Or an apt. building or something similar?
